Housing Assignments

REQUESTS FOR HOUSING ASSIGNMENTS

When students complete their Housing and Dining contract they will be able to submit requests for their roommate, hall, and type of room.  We do our best to honor a student’s requests but final assignments are made in the order that contracts are submitted and based on availability of spaces. Students who submit their contract earlier have the best chance of getting their requests.

• Single rooms are limited and are available to first-year and transfer students after the Priority Room Selection process for our Returning residents.
• Double Rooms are for two students. Students may request a roommate or be assigned with another student requesting a double room. If a roommate is not immediately assigned, the student should anticipate being assigned a roommate and should keep half the room unused and ready for an incoming roommate at all times.
• The Apartments have 2 single rooms and 2 double rooms in each unit and typically house upperclass and graduate students. 

WAIT LISTS FOR FULL SPACES

Students who do not get their requested housing assignments can add their name to a waitlist for these spaces in MyHousing. If these spaces become available, students at the top of these lists will be emailed about a possible room change. 

ROOMATE REQUESTS

Roommate requests between individuals with completed contracts, that have not been assigned a space, can be done in MyHousing. 

After students receive assignments roommate requests can be done by emailing housing@uwp.edu.

Roommate Requests are accepted up until July 1 for Fall semester, December 1 for spring semester, and May 1 for summer.

We accommodate roommate requests if hall occupancy allows. 

Roommate requests must be mutual. All individuals wanting to live together must request the other individual(s) in MyHousing or they will not be assigned together.

INCLUSIVE HOUSING

Students who want to room with someone of a different sex can request to live in Inclusive Housing. This can be done by completing a matched roommate request in MyHousing with someone of another sex. Students who want this housing but do not have a roommate request can email housing@uwp.edu for this placement. 

Inclusive Housing is available in all our Housing options. In the Suites and Apartments all residents assigned within the Suite/Apartment must request Inclusive Housing to be assigned into these locations.

ROOM ASSIGNMENT

Once a student is assigned a space they can log into MyHousing to view their placement and roommate(s) contact information if applicable. Assignments for fall start the end of May and are done on a monthly basis through move in. Assignments for spring start early December on a monthly basis and continue through move in.

ROOM CHANGES
Students looking to move rooms after assignments go out can request changes until July 15 for fall semester, December 1 for spring semester, and May 1 for summer. Students looking to move spaces after the start of the term can request a room change the third week of the semester through the Room Change process. Also at the end of Fall semester for Spring Room Change Process. Requests are not guaranteed and will be processed by date received and availability. Single rooms and open spaces in Pike and the Apartments will be filled by those residents on the waitlist for these spaces.

ROOM SELECTIONS
Residents returning to campus housing for another year are eligible to partake in Priority Room Selection process. Information on the process is emailed to them early in the spring semester. Once the Priority Room Selection process is completed, any returning residents who did not participate in the process and new housing residents will be assigned based on the spaces they requested in their contract and the order they submitted their contract.
